“Louis Vuitton” milky white plays the main role. New wallet  including Japan-exclusive model Numero TOKYO

The pure white dial has a powerful red second hand. Switzerland and Japan – the two colors on the flags of the two countries resonate beautifully, as if they respect each other. Oris has released the first Japan-only model in the brand’s history.[Photo]See Oris’ first Japan-limited model

Oris was born in Helstein, Switzerland in 1904. As one of the few independent brands in the Swiss watch industry with a rich history, it has continued to focus on mechanical watches and has established a firm position. From Oris, a new product “Aquis Japan Limited Edition” was born. Surprisingly, this is Oris’ first Japan-only model. Although it is a limited edition, it is a timepiece with a high degree of practicality that goes beyond the framework of a collection model.

The biggest feature is the coloring of the dial, which is simple yet leaves a strong impression. The white dial gives a sense of purity, with a bright red logo and seconds hand, giving it a solid presence in a minimalist appearance. This color scheme is a message from Oris that shows respect for Japan culture. Two countries with different climates and histories are united by the colors entrusted to their respective flags, and their feelings are sublimated into a single watch. It can be said that it is not just a strange color scheme, but also a work that bears fruit in the ideas and relationships behind it.

The base is Oris’ best-selling “Aquis” collection. Among them, it is based on the “Aquis Date Relief”, which is highly popular in Japan. As the theme of the collection is the importance of water, the waterproof performance is 300 meters. It has full-fledged specifications for a professional dive watch, such as a non-reverse rotation bezel and a screw-down crown with a crown guard.

In addition, it comes with a red rubber strap with a quick-change mechanism. Since it can be easily replaced without tools, it can be used in a wide range of styles, such as giving a calm impression in business situations and being used as a sporty accent in off-time.

The “Aquis Japan Limited Edition” was born from Oris as a limited model in Japan. This work, which combines the colors of Switzerland and Japan on its wrist, combines playfulness and practicality at a high level, and is a film that shows its true value in everyday life. Fans who have loved Oris for many years, as well as those who are new to the brand, will speak eloquently about its philosophy and appeal.

NOMOS’ Japan-limited model is “Rudwig AOYAGI”, a classic new product  that incorporates “blue willow” Nico Nico News

Osawa Shokai Co., Ltd. will release two new models limited to Japan on January 24, 2026, to the standard model “Radwig” of “NOMOS GLASHÜTTE”.

The supple power of “Aoyagi” that dwells in the brilliance of the leaf

One of NOMOS’ representative models, the “Radwig”, is the most classic series, featuring Roman indexes and railway minute tracks. Its neat appearance has a quiet dignity that is not affected by the times.

Following the popular “Tangent Japan Brow” in 2025, the 2026 Japan-only model “Rudwig AOYAGI” combines a more classic “leaf needle” and superimposes the freshness of “blue willow”.

A new year begins with new journeys. In the first pot, which is a traditional Japan culture, the wish is that “everyone will be healthy this year, and we will see you again next year”, and “knotted willows” are tied into a circle.

The blue needles with flowing lines in a circle are reminiscent of the suppleness of “Aoyagi” swaying in the wind, adding depth to the elegant expression of “Rudwig AOYAGI”.

A railway minute track with classic Roman indexes on an enamel white dial and precisely engraved in indigo to represent the dignity of “Aoyagi”. The leaf hands glide quietly over the clear color harmony dial, reflecting Japan’s sense of beauty that values the changing seasons, while remaining discreet and certain.

Special specifications are also designed in detail. The railway track is marked with a traditional Japan diamond pattern every 5 minutes.

“Rudwig AOYAGI” is available in two sizes, 33 and 35.

The delicate leaf hands give the dress watches a touch of elegance and high visibility in a small size. With a hand-held production that wears a subtle elegance, it is a unisex collection that can be used by both men and women. The size 33 has a beige vegan velor strap, and the size 35 has a brown shell cordovan strap for a different impression.

The models with different impressions of the “Rudwig 33 DUO AOYAGI” and “Rudwig AOYAGI” allow you to enjoy a casual pair watch.

Inside the beautifully time-marking watch, NOMOS’ proud in-house hand-wound movement with a power reserve increased to 53 hours DUW4001. Its regular movements are unshakable, as the willow continues to take root.

The back cover is engraved with the words “LUDWIG SONDERMODEL JAPAN”, which is a Japan-only certificate, and the serial number.

The leaf needle adds the glow of blue leaves to the shape of the classic radwig.

German precision and Japan sensibilities reside on the wrist as a single time.

“The radwig AOYAGI comes with a special sleeve case and cross with an Aoyagi motif.

The limited edition watch comes with the original (left) special cloth and (right) sleeve case. The sophisticated packaging is also recommended as a gift for someone special.

Founded in 1990 in Glashütte, Saxony, the center of the German watch industry. Since its founding, the company has consistently carried out research and development and manufactures and assembles movements in Glashütte, while designing at a design studio in Berlin. His designs, which strongly reflect the philosophy of the German Craftsmen Federation and the Bauhaus, have been recognized worldwide and have won more than 170 design awards so far. Its origin is the spirit of the Bauhaus, which was established by inheriting the German Dukes’ League and its ideas.
*Currently, in order to claim a “Glashütte watch”, there is a strict rule that “more than 50% of the movement value must be produced in Glashütte”. Since NOMOS produces and assembles more than 95% of its parts in its own workshop in GLASHÜTTE, the brand name is NOMOS GLASHÜTTE and guarantees the quality of German products.
